I can make a system call to chronyc, read the output and parse it. Although I can't be sure the text output format won't change, so this does not seem like a good way to read the tracking/sources information from chronyc.
The format is not supposed to change, except new fields may be added
to the end of the report. There is the CSV mode (-c option) which
should make it easier for parsing.
Have anybody accomplished this through better means? If so I would be very happy to hear from you!
You can write your own client. The protocol is quite simple. collectd
does that for instance.
The plan is to provide a library, which chronyc would be using, but
unfortunately there wasn't time to do that yet.
